Karan Johar to announce his next directorial on 6th July

Karan Johar’s last directorial was the 2016 release Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The film starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

After Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Karan was supposed to direct Takht starring Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Janhvi Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, and Anil Kapoor. But, due to the pandemic, the film has been put on a backburner. However now, Karan is all set to announce his next directorial.


On Monday, the filmmaker tweeted, “This is the beginning of a new journey & my way back home - all at once. It's time to go back to my favourite place, it's time to create some eternal love stories from behind the lens. A very special story, truly immersed in the roots of love and family. Announcing my next film tomorrow at 11am, watch this space for more! @DharmaMovies @apoorvamehta18."

In the video, Karan has stated that his next, which is a love story, will be announced on 6th July. From the past few months, there have been reports that Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt will be seen in a love story directed by Karan. Now, 6th July 2021 marks Ranveer’s 36th birthday, so we won’t be surprised if Karan’s directorial stars the actor in it.

Meanwhile, Karan is also producing many films like Sooryavanshi, Shershaah, Brahmastra, Dostana 2, Liger, Shakun Batra’s next, Jug Jugg Jeeyo, and Mr Lele.

TroyBoi returns to his Indian roots with Rootz EP using Lata Mangeshkar’s voice to redefine British diaspora music

Highlights:

  • TroyBoi’s five-track EP Rootz is a personal return to the sounds of his childhood, released via Ultra Records in September 2025.
  • The single Kabhi uses an officially cleared sample of Lata Mangeshkar’s vocal from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
  • Collaborations with Amrit Maan, Jazzy B and BombayMami plug Punjabi, Bhangra and south-Asian textures directly into modern trap and bass production.
  • This EP is part of a wider wave: British artists born into diasporas are using heritage not as garnish but as foundation.

Some albums hit you in ways you don’t see coming. Rootz is one of them. Not just another trap EP. TroyBoi, the London-born producer known for global bass and trap, has made something that’s also deeply personal. He didn’t just want to make music that bangs in clubs; instead, he wanted to reach back to the India of his childhood. And he did it with Rootz.

The track everyone’s talking about is Kabhi. Because it’s not just sampling Bollywood. Lata Mangeshkar’s voice was officially cleared for use on a non-Bollywood release, a milestone reported by multiple outlets. It’s history. It’s memory. And it’s a bridge.
